History & Our Name

In San Juan bay, pelicans dive and fish, and occasionally, ensnare themselves in fishing lure. One day the founder of Pelican Eyes Resort and Hotel helped untangle a pelican from a line and found himself looking into the bird’s beautiful eyes. He felt a deep admiration for the plucky bird and renamed his sailboat “Pelican Eyes.” Pelican Eyes Resort and Hotel was first a sailing charter business, and eventually grew into the incredible resort we know today.
